My Soul Will Sail Away © 2003/Tim Keesee/Jay Hammond (Verse 1) Life’s been one adventure I’ve climbed mountains reaching high Walked across the driest desert The living water by my side But, there’s one last adventure I’m still longing to try I want to sail on the ocean When I tell this world good-bye (Chorus) ‘Cause, my soul will sail away For my new home on the shore With the Lord, my Captain I will sail forever more When the tide comes rollin’ in My final journey will begin Oh, what a beautiful day When my soul will sail away (Verse 2) I’ve dreamed of sailing with the saints On a ship called, “Redeemed” Far away to an island Only angels have seen I want to sail to that safe haven Then, lay my anchor down When my ship comes sailing in I know I’ll be Glory bound (Repeat Chorus) (Instrumental Break) What a beautiful day… When my soul sails away… (Verse 3) I want to sail the lakes and rivers And across the seven seas I want to sail on the precious blood The Lord shed for me When I reach that golden harbor And see old mates of mine My adventures will be over And, I’ll know my ship’s arrived… (Tag) What a beautiful day… When my soul will sail away… What a beautiful day… When my soul sails away…
